Tim Hetherington spotlights Salvatore Giunta, who has been awarded the Medal of Honor for his bravery in Afghanistan.
December 2010 Vanity Fair
The Sal Giunta Story from SebastianJunger/TimHetherington on Vimeo.
In recounting that tragic day, Giunta is keen to remind me about his fellow soldiers. “Every single person that I’ve been with deserves to wear it, deserves to . . .They are just as much of me as I am. This isn’t a one-man show.” He's asked about the medal, which President Obama presented to him at the White House on November 16. “It sounds really awesome in theory, but what’s it worth—Brennan? Mendoza?”
See a video of Giunta at “Restrepo, The Movie.” “Restrepo” has its world television premiere on the National Geographic Channel, unedited and with limited commercial interruption, on Monday, November 29, 2010, at nine p.m. ET/PT.
